POET'S SALARY 2

For the first time in years, on the small island of Mota Lava, just north of Vanuatu a new song will be written in the language of their ancestors-the language of god Quat - and will enter the custom directory.
What is more surprising is that this new traditional song is written in honor of a white man, a young French linguist adopted by a family on the island, and everyone there affectionately nicknamed "Alex .
To attend the opening ceremony of this truly epic, as Masten, the official bard of the island, composed for several years, Alex arrives at Motalava with his wife, two children and a colleague, ethnomusicologist, Monika.
But once arrived on the scene, things do not go exactly as planned ...
